I dont think that SL took the Windians seriously because they have not performed well lately, but happy to see that they are putting up a great fight, this is a new WI team and should not be taken lightly anymore. I am saying this because BD plays them in the WC.

I think it's an either-or factor. These players Bradman, Sehwag, Gayle they target that they will score massive and they will score quickly. There is no reason to play Dravidian innings only to get tired and out in a loose ball. Hence it tends to work for men with these sort of mentality.

Hope our Tamim babu reaches that level too. He has the knack, now only needs discipline and experience.

The confusion surrounding the one-day leg of West Indies' tour of Sri Lanka has ended with Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) announcing that the five-match series has been postponed to late January 2011 because of the bad weather all across the island. The decision, made after an understanding was reached by the boards and the television partner, was announced shortly before the first ODI was scheduled to begin in rain-hit Hambantota. West Indies will fly home on Friday.

There was no clarity over whether the ODI series would be postponed or not on the eve of the first ODI in Hambantota, where it had been raining incessantly. Reports had suggested that SLC and the West Indies board were working on rescheduling the series, but SLC denied this, while the West Indies team management would not officially comment on the development. Adding to the confusion was Chris Gayle's Twitter update - the former West Indies captain tweeted as early as Wednesday afternoon that the series had been officially called off and that he was headed out of the country.

Brian Thomas, SLC's media manager, told ESPNcricinfo that the two boards were "looking at postponing the series yesterday [Wednesday]." He said the delay in the making the decision was because they decided to wait one more day to see if the weather would improve.

Rain has been the only constant during this ill-timed tour, with the players spending most of the time during the drawn three-Test series in dressing rooms. The weather-induced stalemate pushed Sri Lanka from third to fifth in the ICC Test rankings, and Kumar Sangakkara, the Sri Lanka captain, went on to describe the series as the worst of his life.
